Improved Sensitivity MEMS Cantilever Sensor for Terahertz Photoacoustic Spectroscopy

In this paper, a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) cantilever sensor was designed, modeled and fabricated to measure the terahertz (THz) radiation induced photoacoustic (PA) response of gases under low vacuum conditions. This work vastly improves cantilever sensitivity over previous efforts, by r...
